printing?


  Hmmm....nothing in that other post for some reason.

  Shilesh...I haven't yet tried any of the new papers in my 2200....it's
simply a $$ issue for
  me right now, but I hope to perhaps this coming month. My HPR/Eboni/BO
printing is
  such a no brainer and I can't afford too much experimentation, though I'm
itching to.

  Um....green-warm vs. brwon-warm.....yuck . They both sound awful. Does MIS
have a
  more nuetral alternative PK?

  Thanks so much for the dialogue on this....with everyone so geeked out on
Epson ABW it
  appears BO has fallen a bit by the wayside. Understandably, I guess. But
I'm hoping to
  stick with BO for awhile because my work is so well suited to it (high
contrast, not much
  expanse of mid-tones).

  So, thanks once again!
  Sarah
